"Cidade Negra was a good reggae band but they turn themselves in a comertial pop band. This CD have good some good reggae songs an many pop songs. If you are looking for roots reggae it's not a CD to buy. You better look for Edson Gomes or Tribo de Jah."
Best reggae album since Bob Marley's "Legend"

"Originally released in Brasil in 1993, "Sobre Todas As Forças" is the best reggae album since Bob Marley and the Wailers' "Legend" album. Cidade Negra's mix of reggae, pop, rock, disco, and traditional Brasilian music adds a fresh new flavor to the music scene. Their unique sound has been imitated(but not duplicated) by bands such as Sublime. Cidade Negra is by far the best reggae band in Brasil."
Wow!
